This gate controls access to Guemes Mountain trails- open to hikers, closed to motor vehicles.
One of the caretakers called a few weeks ago to tell me, "something terrible" had happened to the gate- when I got there, this massive construction was bent in the middle...but not a mark was to be seen on it! We suspect Uri Geller, or perhaps UFOs...
We pulled the post upright, an excavator tweaked the gate back to the correct level, and I took the oxyacetylene rig and reworked the lockbox (a box for the padlock that makes it virtually impossible to use common tools to get in).
